15 Unique Halloween Costume Ideas For Women

“These 15 Unique Halloween costume ideas for women are perfect to help you get creative for the holiday. You can mix and match as you please.”

Peace!This is KB, and I love Halloween. Since about 18, I have been celebrating it regularly. When I was a child, I was never able to celebrate the way other kids would. We would simply go to a church All Saints Eve night with games, and bags of candy provided. Feeling like I missed out, as an adult, Halloween has been a huge deal. At this point, I have probably tried a ton of costumes. These days I don’t play up the sexy part as much. These days I get my costume ideas from books, movies, and celebrities like most people. Since I am all about saving money, I felt I could share these ideas to help you as well. A great tip is to go to places like Etsy to get cosplay costumes you can repurpose for Halloween. So, I put together some great costume ideas from Etsy & Amazon to help you get inspired for your costume for Halloween this year.

1. Oshun

A goddess from the Yoruba tribe who was also married to Shango. She influences rivers, romance, fertility and love. She is the most beautiful of the Orishas and her colors are gold and yellow. She is symbolized in yellow butterflies, diamonds, and yellow roses.

I love this costume idea. It’s unique and inexpensive to put together. Plus you get to tell that origin story.

2 . Dionne From Clueless

If you remember that 90’s movie, then this could be a good option. Although given what Stacey Dash has become, I am not sure I want to use her character anymore.

3. Grace Jones - Strangé (Boomerang)

I loved that movie Boomerang with Eddie Murphy. Dress as one of the iconic characters, Strangé, as she liked to be called. She was hilarious. Here are some things to help inspire you. You can wear what you have or visit a thri

4. Janet Jackson - Poetic Justice

I loved this movie. Janet Jackson and Tupac on screen together was so fun to watch. Recreate this look with items you may already have.

6. The Bride - Kill Bill

To be honest. I am not sure I would say this one is unique, but I do love the idea of a costume that doesn’t have to be sexy. Strength is also attractive. Get some yellow sneakers and a jumpsuit to create the outfit.

11. Auset/Isis

Getting back to African Goddesses, this is Auset. The Greeks called her Isis. She was an Egyptian Goddess that reigned over the health of children, water, the moon and motherhood. The Egpytians honor her as the giver of all life. Her colors are white, all shades of blue, and gold.

This one might not be unique, so you can buy it anywhere. I just feel people should make themselves a little more aware of their background. I have a coloring book about African Goddesses, here.

12. Dora Milaje Warrior

These are fictional characters from the Black Panther movie, based on a real life tribe called the Dahomey Amazons. You can read more about them here.

13. Lana Kane

Lana Kane from archer should be easy to recreate yourself. You just need a sweater dress and some boots. Make sure to get some toy guns.

14. Nothing

If Halloween is not your thing, you don’t have to participate. This is what my plan is for my office party this year.

15. Sunshine- Harlem Nights

I did mention I love Eddie Murphy movies from the late 80’s? This character was a small part, but if you watched the movie you would never forget it.

Sunshine was a prostitute tasked with seducing the man who was running the drugs and money that Eddie Murphy and Richard Pryor used as a trap to lure the cops to the bank. You can try to find some great vintage clothes on etsy to create a look for cheap.
